So if you're waiting for the flood waters (or gas prices) to recede before your season starts, let's face it, you've got time to kill. Enter Ship of Fools. Many legendary bands have done different songs that they called Ship of Fools, including the Doors and Robert Plant, and there was even a book and movie by that name.

However, of all the different "Ship(s) of Fools" there is only one version from a band that was known for their ability to stretch a song out long enough for flood waters to recede.

And that jam band is, of course, the Grateful Dead. Here they are performing Ship of Fools in California back in June of 1989.
